Green Door
Mid Week Motif Poets United
What goes on behind the green door?
Is it Gateways just off the Kings Road
Or Fernando's Hideaway of I Know A Dark Secluded Place?
Knock Three Times On The Ceiling If you Want Me
No - I know someone who did that - big mistake
I don't know what they're doin' but they laugh a lot
behind the green door
Listen, Do You Want To Know A Secret - Nah
Best kept a secret - not everything is as it seems
Could result in shocks - A Billy Idol Shock To The System
Stick with Shakespeare Lute Songs Slow Dancin' Down By The Salley Gardens
With Hey Ho - Hey Nonny Nonny No

Hehehe. What fun--the combination of lines and the multiplying of possibilities and the fears of what might happen all rolled together. Playing it safe isn't very satisfying anymore.
ReplyDeleteAll I recognized was the tango and the heynonnyno. Pathetic. Just as well you explained.
ReplyDeleteWas there a Shakin Stevens green door too..or blue? best keep doors locked..don't want to disturb the neighbours with our singing
ReplyDeleteThe green door reminded me of a shakin stevens song that I used to listen to growing up.
ReplyDeleteclosed door sometimes menacing...fun read.. :)
ReplyDeleteThis is a fun read-especially love the knock three times - no, don't.
ReplyDeleteA gateway to the kings - now that is an image that sets this alight.
ReplyDeleteOh, that takes me back! Thank you.
ReplyDeleteThat was an absolute favourite of mine (even though I'm obviously much too young to remember it).
ReplyDeleteObviously (giggles tee hee)
ReplyDeleteLovely. I did not get many of the references, but i take it they are song titles? Lovely way to weave them all together. The green door photograph looks interestingly innocent except for that dark panel there. Who is looking at us as we look at them? Brrr!
